Mbappe made a big impression on the day PSG made Barcelona taste the bitter end in the C1 Cup.

Mbappe ‘s performance against Barcelona

Barcelona has the advantage of leading PSG with a score of 3-2 in the quarter-final first leg of the C1 Cup . Going into the second leg, coach Xavi’s team also started the match well when Raphinha opened the score in the 12th minute. However, Araujo received a red card in the 29th minute, causing everything to turn around. PSG scored 4 more goals to create a great comeback with a 6-4 final victory after 2 matches.

Notably, the home team of Parc des Princes became the club with the most eliminations against Barcelona in the history of the C1 Cup. Previously, PSG sent Barcelona out of the tournament in the quarterfinals of the 1994/95 season and the 1/8 round of the 2020/21 season. 

Barcelona’s journey in the 2023/24 C1 Cup season ended in a more bitter way

In this match, Barcelona only had a possession rate of 32.7%. This is the lowest number that the Camp Nou home team has ever achieved in a match since the 2013/14 season.

Mbappe made a significant contribution to PSG winning tickets to the semi-finals of the C1 Cup. The French striker scored 2 goals in the 61st and 89th minute. That performance dispelled the doubts when the striker born in 1998 failed against Barcelona in the first leg.

During the confrontations with Barcelona in the C1 Cup, Mbappe scored 6 times against this opponent. Opta statistics show that no team has conceded as many goals by Mbappe as Barcelona.

Muller is the name that causes the most fear for Barcelona in the C1 Cup. The Bayern Munich star has scored 8 times against representatives of Spanish football, a higher number than any other player. Mbappe also only loses to Muller in this statistic.

Mbappe also accumulated 14 goals in 11 away matches in the knockout round of the C1 Cup. Only Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved better results than the striker born in 1998. Specifically, CR7 scored 23 goals in 39 matches away from home field.
